## Resource

Kurt Gallagher joins Patrick to tell the story of Ry Cooder, one of the most influential and incredible musical minds of the past 50 years. In part one, Ry suffers a tragic accident that changes the course of his life, but ends up playing with Bill Monroe, founding a band that might have been bigger than the Byrds and playing with Captain Beefheart.
